A Highland Council spokesperson confirmed that this is due to a small void that had appeared on the road, with road staff currently in discussions with public utility companies in an attempt to identify the source of the problem.
They said their aim is to reopen the road “at the earliest opportunity”.
However the Temporary Traffic Prohibitions Notice related to this incident says it will remain remain in effect “until 6.30 hours on Wednesday, November.
It states: “The reason for making this Notice is to enable temporary traffic prohibitions to be put in place during road pavement sub-surface investigation works.”
